Apple thought it dealt with Epic v. Apple — has it really?


Apple’s 27 percent tax might not be welcomed by the court.

Daniel McCuaig, a partner at Cohen Milstein and a former trial attorney at the Department of Justice’s antitrust division, thinks it’s “unlikely” that the “court ultimately blesses” Apple’s 27 percent tax. While the Dutch regulator didn’t seem to take issue with these changes at the time, Bloomberg obtained a confidential ruling in October 2023 that suggests the agency isn’t happy with Apple’s 27 percent tax on dating apps. There, Epic will have to prove Apple isn’t complying with the terms of the order, potentially opening the door for another legal battle after the Supreme Court declined to take up the overall case on January 16th.
